Mount Pleasant-based Kerberos Productions, traditionally a third-party dev shop, have decided to get on the front foot by forging their own path with a new indie game, Sword of the Stars: The Pit, which they’ve developed themselves and are distributing online.

As the name suggests, this title is tied in to the Sword of the Stars lore, though this iteration is self-published, which means Kerberos has the rights to its IP. That’s a rare occurrence in business models these days.
